Liverpool Spectacularly Lucky Not To Concede Late Penalty Vs Spurs

Liverpool news Virgil van Dijk will be up against Harry Kane this weekend

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has hit back at Gary Neville by commenting that he does not know what the former Manchester United skipper meant when he suggested that the Reds should sacrifice their Champions League aspirations to win the league title.

Liverpool noted that their no. 9 "has not been ruled out" of Tuesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, but one would think that Jürgen Klopp is unlikely to risk him if he is not at a 100 percent. "I just felt Liverpool wanted to come to an agreement quickly", he told the Telegraph. Back when everyone largely played 4-4-2 and there was none of this play-it-out-from-the-back malarkey, Joe Cole was dumped out there a lot and Steven Gerrard was wasted in too many games.

"I want to say that Liverpool deserved the victory but if you analyse the game, there are some key moments like the goal that we conceded".

Not much difference on the face of it, but look deeper and you see that only Gomez remains from last season's Liverpool defence that was given such a torrid time by Kane. It's fantastic we won all of them, it's fantastic we improved and this today was by far our best performance of the season, so I like that development.

Liverpool are scheduled to play seven games in the next 23 days starting with the weekend's trip to Wembley on Saturday.

"Maybe [if he learns this] he will arrive to play in a very good level and be one of the best midfielders in England".

It remains to be seen which players make the squad for the Tottenham game but the bench we saw against Leicester last time out of Mignolet, Sturridge, Keita, Moreno, Lallana, Shaqiri and Matip is a world away.

Kane, who was the second-highest scorer in the league behind Salah last season, looks in need of a break to rest and recover a tired body.

"I have no clue what exactly happened", said Klopp. We don't know exactly in the moment.
